Answer:

Explanation:

Rate X Time = distance

Therefore:

r (rate) X 5 (hours) = 600 (distance)

r = 600/5

r = 120 miles per hour

The rate of speed of the jet is 120 mph.

Then, to find out the distance flown in 13 hours:

120 (rate) X 13 (time) = d (distance)

120 X 13 = d

1560 = d

The distance flown in 13 hours is 1560 miles.
